5.0 out of 5 stars Wow. I can't believe Marilyn Harris is an indie artist., February 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Between The Lines (Audio CD)

This is top notch jazz/pop. Something like Billie Holiday meets Steely Dan...... but not exactly. A silky smooth voice is the first thing you notice. Then, still early in the first song, you realize the incredible talent of all the musicians. Tight, well-produced, very pro. I kept thinking I was listening to someone who had already made it!Above and beyond the performance is the songs. This is expert songwriting, with extraordinary natural gifts underneath the crafting. They move. They breathe. Every step perfectly choreographed. As a reviewer of many indie artists, one thing I know is that often good production tried to camouflage mediocre songwriting. Not here. The lyrics speak to an intellectual mind, the music swings up and back in all the right places, and the bluesy touches are perfectly fitting.Recorded over a 10 year period, Between The Lines, traveled with Harris from New York to Chicago to LA and back again. In between her other musical endeavors, at that. She has worked with notable jazz artists, composed numerous television scores, produced music for commercials, you name it.Harris, who also plays inspiring piano on the CD, has done everything right. This artist deserves not only a listen, but a lot of success. Really. Go to her site and listen to a soundbyte. Amazing.The only mildly disappointing feature of this disc is its packaging. I was surprised when I listened, as the cover does not lead me to expect the great music within.

You don't need to read "Between The Lines" to see that Marilyn Harris sings from her heart, an all too rare quality these days. Her deliveries are smooth and in the pocket - on every cut. I've been a great fan of Ms. Harris for a long time and she just keeps on getting better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars INDEED!, May 14, 1999

Marilyn Harris covers it all in her CD "BETWEEN THE LINES". Her songs have such variety that there's something for everyone who has a taste for good music. People have compared her with such talents as Carole King and Carly Simon, but Ms. Harris stands glowingly on her own. With melodies that build and progress and lyrics that actually "say something", this listener wants more! How about it, Marilyn - when's your next collection of gems?
